Wow! I didn't realize the problem was so prevalent. I think the box ( I
still have it) says one million mile warranty on it so they better not
try to pull that crap on me. I don't expect 'em to, though. When I
e-mailed them to request to buy a new "s rod" since my current one was
too short for the F&B TB, they just sent me a new one no charge, no
questions asked. I was pleased 8^)

Thanks for the info.
